The Spirit, The Water, & The Blood

This is the one who came by water and blood – Jesus Christ.  He did not come by water only, but by water and blood.  And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.  For there are three that testify in heaven: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.  And there are three that testify on earth: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

– 1 John 5:6-8

It’s Amazing to know that there are three witnesses that testify to us about the validity of Jesus (Yeshua) in heaven and on earth!  John described how Jesus came by water and blood, so two of the earthly witnesses were fulfilled in Jesus (Yeshua) alone, yet God sent down His Spirit from heaven as further validity to the testimony of his son!  How Awesome is that?!!  And John also explained how there are three witnesses that testify in heaven and they are: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit!  So now we see that there are not just earthly witnesses, but also heavenly witnesses declaring the validity of the testimony of Jesus (Yeshua)!  First, Father God!  Second, the Word, who IS Jesus (Yeshua) – the Son!  Lastly, the Holy Spirit!  And ALL three of these witnesses are One, which creates a Godhead of 3 in 1!  Isn’t that Exciting?!!  It is important to know that even though these three witnesses are One, they also hold individual significance!  You cannot have the Father without the Son, the Son without the Father, or the Holy Spirit without the Father and the Son!  Yet, notice that the Word – who is Jesus (Yeshua) – the Son of God, is in the middle of this Godhead!  That means that one MUST have Jesus (Yeshua) or they cannot have God the Father and it it also means that one MUST have Jesus (Yeshua) or they cannot have the Holy Spirit!  EVERYTHING is centered around Jesus (Yeshua) in heaven and on earth!  Do You have the testimony of Jesus (Yeshua) in your heart today??
